While we listen to the cold wave or death rock music of the 80's, we can imagine the grey walls of the abandoned workers city, the overwhelming climate of the cold war and of a hidden danger. Raw tones, full of expression, which get to the very mere of the bone, slightly touched with a bits of electronical sounds - these are words, which can describe that music, as well as the work of Cabaret Grey.

The band was founded in 2010, and the members are: Salomea Wrona - vocal and violin, Leszy - guitar. Live concerts are supported by - Ziggy on bass guitar and Daroo - drums. "The Reason" was their debut song which appeared on the VA Shadow Places vol. I. The good reception of this piece encouraged the band to record EP "Stirring", and to put "Grey Lights" song on the VA Shadow Places vol. II. Salomea Wrona, Leszy worked on the EP, in cooperation with Alexey Nightchild A. Nikitchenko (http://thenightchild.at.ua), who mastered the sound and recorded bass guitars. This issue made some buzz among the DJs and music promoters, because of the unique way in which their music continues the tradition of the 80's: that sounds both familiar and completely new.

Cabaret Grey's music carries us out into the dark, forgotten places in our minds. If we seek the genres which influenced this music we can point at the cold wave, post punk, death rock and the early gothic rock. Cabaret Grey's music is in some moments very raw, severe, deeply thrilling and the very title - "Stirring" - can be understood as the band's purpose: that the listener feels excited, intrigued.

We need to mention, that the band pays much attention to the visual side of their works and does its best to make them one of the kind. The design of the cover of the EP "Stirring" is similar to origami and the illustrations are created by Salomea. The inspiration of the whole style can be found not only in the 80's, but also in the 20's and 30's.

The band is currently working on a new material which will be released in 2012. The debut EP "Stirring" will be available from february 14th on as a free download on bandcamp and many other well-known download portals as well as a download with costs on Amazon, iTunes and all well-known stores.
